Benefits of the Integration

With the BigCommerce Amazon Integration, you can customize how your products update on Amazon. Generally, we recommend smaller sellers choose to have BigCommerce as the master of truth. In this scenario, the integration will send over all product information from BigCommerce directly to Amazon on a daily basis. If you are a larger retailer, or already on Amazon, you can upload a custom catalog to Amazon and have the BigCommerce Amazon Integration sync only the price and quantity for more control over your listings.

Because Amazon has such a large market-share in the eCommerce space, they naturally have their own seller requirements. One of the major factors Amazon takes into account to keep your account active as a seller is the Pre-Fulfillment Cancel Rate. Amazon requires a Pre-Fulfillment Cancel Rate of 2.5% or lower. If you do not meet this requirement, Amazon may choose to freeze your account, hold your funds from sales on Amazon, or, even worse, ban you from selling on Amazon.

If you are a seller on Amazon, it's very important to make sure your inventory is correct so you can continue to sell and receive revenue from Amazon. If your incorrect inventory causes you to cancel an order, Amazon will take notice. It is very important to fix your inventory issues immediately so no other orders have the same issue.

With the BigCommerce Amazon integration, inventory management on Amazon is simple. You don’t need to worry about inventory issues because it auto-syncs to Amazon. When an order is placed in Amazon or BigCommerce that depletes the item’s inventory, the integration syncs this information with BigCommerce and Amazon. Inventory syncs are now one last thing you need to worry about.
